Printing shapefiles and shape type of feature classes and separating them by comma using ArcPy?

Question

import arcpy

arcpy.env.workspace = "C:\\ArcGIS\\Data"

FCList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("")

for feature in FCList:

    print feature

This yields me a list of all of my .shp files, but I need it to recognize what geometry shape those shapefiles are and print them on the same line separated by a comma

Answer 1

You could use describe and then get the properties from the feature class

Also if this help ListFeatureClasses also allows for a "feature_type" so if you really only want certain types you could provide a value for this parameter (more info).

import arcpy
arcpy.env.workspace = r"C:\ArcGIS\Data"
fcList = arcpy.ListFeatureClasses("")
for fc in fcList:
    desc = arcpy.Describe(fc)
     print(fc + ',' + desc.shapeType)
